Removing the old switch from my GE side-by-side was a real problem - it was located at the bottom front edge near the hinges for the door. The right side of the switch had a 'locking tab' that had to be depressed to remove the old switch. The problem was that I couldn't easily get a screwdriver or putty knife behind the switch to depress that tab since the hinges sometimes prevent me from coming from the right side. It also didn't help that I had to practically lie on the floor to get close to the switch. The removal took a lot longer than expected, but was pretty much exactly like the video tutorial showed (except that the switch in the video was at eye level and had clear access to all side of the switch!)
